Jana - I agree about the BL challenge withdrawals!! I was thinking about a "support group" too but I love Mike's idea of a new challenge around Fear Factor or something. That sounds fun.

Helen - you did so awesome last week!! Huge congrats to you - through worrying about your medical tests and dealing with office snacks you still lost weight - now who's got the control? You rock! :rockband:

Mike - love the new ticker! How did you get your picture on it? :goodvibes Thanks for the link to the website, I didn't realize they were doing that.

[MinnieMouseMom]

WTG Everyone! :cheer2:

I'm up .2 this week, but I'll take it after the week I had. :)

[Mykelogan]

Hehehehe! Thanks jennifer!!

You can definitely lose that pound and more this week!! I know you can!!!
Don't make me go all Jillian again! ;)

The NBC Biggest Loser site is very cool. They have forums on there too with lots of inspiring folks. :)

Mike :goodvibes

[jennz]

A little Jillian never hurts... :teeth:

MinnieMouseMom - great attitude! That's coming off this week (the weight not the 'tude :smooth: )

bcvprincess - how're the workouts at the gym going? :dog2:

Shelia - great job staying even! :wizard: You're gaining days are behind you (pun intended)

Marty - you're in the same situation as me :wave2: , our pounds will be falling this week! :bounce:

Congratulations to K&K's Mommy and Helen for breaking through the 10 pound barrier!! :jumping1:

Mike I just noticed you'll be at WDW in just over 2 weeks...how exciting!! Do you have a special treat/reward planned for yourself?

[MinnieMouseMom]

MinnieMouseMom - great attitude! That's coming off this week (the weight not the 'tude :smooth: )

LOL Thanks!! :flower:

[Mykelogan]

Hi Jennifer!

The whole trip is my treat/reward! hehe :) Especially if I meet my goal of being able to walk the whole trip without needing a scooter!!! :)

Mike :goodvibes

[jennz]

Oh Mike - I'm so excited for you!! :earseek: :hug: I didn't realize what a HUMONGOUS (sp?) change you are going through in your life - that is so fantastic! Do you think you'll be able to do it this time? To even be able to consider - what a huge step! Okay now for the mother in me - don't push yourself and over do it, using the scooter :moped: is perfectly okay and you need to stay healthy to continue your remarkable progress and take many many more trips to WDW and to plan a meet in April 2006. :banana:

[mountaineer]

Ok, I'm trying this again. I had a long reply typed out and "the server was too busy".

Jennifer, you're a great cheerleader!! :cheer2: I'm glad there are at least 2 of us on this two steps forward, one step back dance. But we'll get to our goal eventually, right?

I did step aerobics and bike today for 90 min.

K and K's mommy, I'm a little concerned about the cake. But I dont' like chocolate and that's probably what he'll get so I will be able to ignore it.

We are going to Chuck E. Cheese for his birthday on Sat. I've been trying to decide what to eat (if anything!!) there. Maybe a salad.

Marty

[K and K's Mommy]

Marty - We're here for you with the birthday weekend! Definitely plan what you are going to eat before you go. I'm sure they have a salad bar - lots of veggies, little dressing. GOOD LUCK!

I did not get my exercise in today. I knew I wouldn't during the day so I was hoping to exercise when my DH got home from work. He ended up having to work late. I know I should do it now, but once the kids are in bed, I just want to veg!

Have a great Thursday everyone! I would love to continue this after the show is over!

[jayna22]

I just wanted to say that I think you are all very inspiring! I don't talk much, but I read and follow everyone's success stories. Keep up the good work!

I also like the idea of Fear Factor challenges--as long as I don't have to eat anything tooooo disgusting! :sunny:

Jana

[jennz]

Jana, I think Mike said something about the first challenge being raw tofu mixed with canned spinach and liver... :confused3

Jennifer, you're a great cheerleader!! I'm glad there are at least 2 of us on this two steps forward, one step back dance. But we'll get to our goal eventually, right? Thanks Marty! :goodvibes And yes we will get to our goal eventually and it will last since we know what to do if we gain a week. :)

I exercised yesterday for 60 minutes! Today it's off to the Children's Museum with 100 2nd graders - definitely not my thing! And then a stop off at happy hour - oops! I mean home and maybe hop on the treadmill.

Has anyone tried that Ezekiel bread that they talk about on BL? :confused3 I haven't found it here. I HAVE found Bread of Life though - delicious Banana Nut muffins, HUGE and 140 calories/0 fat. :banana: Also some very tasty chocolate chip brownies, 150 cals/0 fat and they're huge too, I had 1/2 for dessert last night. :banana: I do want to try the Ezekiel bread though.

[WeirdEyes]

Shelia - great job staying even! You're gaining days are behind you (pun intended)
Thanks Jennifer for being so motivating!!!!

Please add ONE HOUR to our workout totals!! My legs were jelly after doing 4.7 miles on the NordicTrack. :cool1:

[bcvprincesses]

Had to work 16 hours yesterday and boy am I tired. I think I will go to the gym later today. I am really loving it there. Thanks to everyone here for all your support. You gave me the kick in the butt that I needed to go.

I lost 1 lb last week. I still can't believe that Matt lost so much weight last week on the show. I wonder what he did?????

Everyone keep up the good work. :cheer2:
Ann Marie

[helenk]

It seems like this week is off to a great start with everyone being very motivated!
I walked only a 1/2 hour yesterday, I got home too late to get in another 1/2 hour...but 1/2 hour is better than nothing.
..
Mike you will be in WDW the same time my husband and I will, our dates are 12/4-12/9...its getting closer and closer. I'm really getting excited!
...
I'm hoping to lose a few more pounds before the trip, it will be hard over Thanksgiving, but I am going to try and stay away from the pies and other goodies.

[Mykelogan]

Mike you will be in WDW the same time my husband and I will, our dates are 12/4-12/9...its getting closer and closer. I'm really getting excited!

Oh cool! I am so excited now that I have a different dream every night that somehow relates to travel or Disney! LOL :) If you're interested, we're having a WISH meet at lunch time on the 7th at DTD. Around 8 or so people coming I think. If you are interested I can get more details to you, if not no worries!! :)

Have a great day all!!! It is a gym day for me, so I will report my min later! :)

Mike :goodvibes

[MinnieMouseMom]

WTWork it PURPLE team!!

30 mins of WATP this morning :banana:

[DoomBuggyBabe]

Geetings all,
Another bleah week for me, I'm afraid. Nothing lost (though nothing gained), and just 120 minutes of exercise to report. I did do 45 minutes at the gym yesterday (elliptical and a few weight machines) to start this week off, however. Don't think I'm making it there today, though. Very, very achy today. Think it's the dampness/change in temperature. Will force myself back tomorrow.
Keep moving,
Laura

[K and K's Mommy]

Laura - Don't say just 120 minutes! 120 is much better than 0!! Way to go! :banana:

I'm glad I read these today. I am not feeling energized! I think it is the change in weather. I did get in 40 minutes of walk/run on the treadmill.

Jennifer - How was the museum? 2nd grade is what I taught before I was a stay at home mom. I loved it! Hopefully it wasn't too crowded! I bet you got some exercise walking all over the museum! :Pinkbounc

[Mykelogan]

Hi All!

60min at the gym today for me! :)

Keep up the great work!

Mike :goodvibes

[mountaineer]

I didn't get a workout in yesterday. I ended up working at the book fair at my son's school. I just happened to be there and the person scheduled didn't show up.

Today I did 35 min step aerobics. I am on my way to my son's school to volunteer for his teacher today. I have been gone every day this week. It's hard for me to get motivated when I'm not home to work out first thing after my dh and son leave.

Have a great weekend!!

Marty

[Mykelogan]

Quick check in --- 70min of water aerobics today. :)
Hope everyone has a great one! Saw a commercial last night about this being the last two weeks of the Biggest Loser and the live finale, I can't wait to see who wins!!! I am not sure who I want to have win yet either! hehe :)

Mike :goodvibes

[helenk]

I was able to get 1 hour and 15 minutes on the treadmill last night.

Mike, I saw the thread for the Wish Meet in DTD, I will definately try and get over to at least to put some faces to the names.

Cool Helen, look for me in my lime green and purple DIS shirt! hehe :)

[dopey4disney]

Hi everyone :wave:

Everone is doing a wonderful job on the exercise.

Mike - I have always wanted to try water aerobics but the only classes around here are held during my work hours, maybe someday.

I don't think I have posted my exercise since Monday. I didn't exercise Tuesday but for the rest of the week I have 123 minutes.

Everyone keep up the great work!!! :cheer2:

[K and K's Mommy]

Good afternoon! You all are exercising a lot!! :cheer2:

I did a 45 minute aerobics first thing this morning. I got a headache afterwards. Dehydrated, maybe? Anyway, I feel better now.

Tomorrow will be a challenge. We're going to a big tailgate before the IU/Purdue game. I hope the weather is better. I am not a big enough fan to sit out in the cold and be happy!

[Blueeyes101817]

hi everyone--i will weigh myself tomorrow morning..but as of last week i had lost 9 lbs..

[Tiger Lily 03]

...It's time to do our TigerLily 03 cheer:

Thunder, thunder, thunderation!
We're the WISH group delegation.
When we move with determination,
We create a GREAT sensation!

Great job everyone!! :jumping1: Let's keep it going! :thewave:

Please post any and all struggles and accomplisments - we're doing this together! :grouphug:So glad someone took over the cheer for last week. I felt bad that I missed ya. Now I know you can all do it on your own! You go!
:thewave: :thewave: :thewave: :thewave:

[helenk]

I did 46 minutes on the treadmill last night.
The weather is cold today but sunny, I may venture out for a walk in the park.

[Blueeyes101817]

no loss..but no gain...still at 9 lbs total lost

[jennz]

Jen - great job w/no gain, next week you will probably have a good loss if you stick to it this week. :cool1:

You are all doing great with exercise! WTG! :banana:

This is brief, just wanted to check in and stay on track. DD just barfed and she has a cheer competition tomorrow...first time these two have been combined. Could be a stressful night and afternoon tomorrow.

Oh - Happy belated birthday Christie/dopey4disney! :bday: Why didn't you tell me?! It's the big one! I hope it was fun! :earsgirl:

[WDWFAN9]

Hi everybody!!

I walked 2hrs, 8 miles today. It was a beautiful, sunny, but windy day in northern IL. I'll take it!

[K and K's Mommy]

Pat - Way to go on the long walk!!

Today I ran/walked for 40 minutes. It was a great walk! I felt really good and energetic. That was probably because I ate way too much yesterday so I had extra energy!!

Hope everyone had a great weekend!

[Mykelogan]

Wow, we're almost into the last week of the challenge!! Huge congrats to everyone who is still here!!! You guys rocks! :)

I did 75min of water aerobics this morning! Was not so good food wise going out to dinner and a party Saturday night but I think I have "recovered" okay. hehe :) Hope everyone else is doing well!

Mike :)

[helenk]

I forgot to post my weekend exercise
Saturday I walked outside for an hour
Sunday I walked outside for an hour and 15 minutes

[jennz]

wdwfan9, k&k's Mommy, and Jayna - congratulations on being co-winners for the women last week! You lost 2 pounds each - :banana: And the winner for the men - (drumroll) Mike L with 3 pounds gone!!

[MinnieMouseMom]

WTG all you losers!!! ;)

[Blueeyes101817]

20 minutes of working out again....its better than nothing--hoping for a loss before i leave for disney!!

[Mykelogan]

I am very worried about tomorrow's weigh in.... :earseek:

[jayna22]

Wow! I never win anything! :sunny:

This week I lost 2 more pounds so that puts me at 10.5. I also did 270 minutes of excerise. One week to go, I don't think I'll be the biggest loser!

I did see a personal trainer at the gym last night. She says that if I eat right and do what she says, I could lose between ten and fifteen pounds a month. Eating right is not easy, but she did give me "free days" on Thanksgiving and Christmas Day. We'll see how it works. She then wants me to go to the gym six days a week. Three days for an hour and three days for an hour and a half. I can do that, especially if I break up the 1.5 into two forty-five minute sessions.

Thanks everyone!
Jana

[Mykelogan]

Guess I was afraid for nothing! I am down another 3lbs this week. It was 2lbs when I first stepped on the scale, but when I rechecked it was 3lb, and then was 3 for the next 4 times! LOL Saturday's naughtiness did not hit me too bad then. :) Now with Thanksgiving lying before I worry... it is a carb coma weekend! I will need my WISH Shields at full strength!!

Onwards to our final week! Good luck everyone!!! :goodvibes

Mike

[MinnieMouseMom]

WTG Jana & Mike!! :cheer2:

[K and K's Mommy]

Way to go everyone!!

Jana - That much time in the gym will be great! Eating is the hardest thing for me too! Good luck!

Last night I went to a 50 minute aerobics class and today I walked/ran on the treadmill for 40 minutes.

I lost one pound this week!!

Everyone keep moving! I can't believe this is the last week!

[WDWFAN9]

darn! I am up a pound this week. I guess the early T-day dinner on Sunday cost me.

[mountaineer]

Hey, sorry I've been MIA. Had the party at CEC for my son, I had 1 piece of pizza. I've eaten terribly lately (quality) but have been eating smaller portions. And drinking lots of water. I'm back down 1 lb.

Yesterday I sat at a garage for 4 1/2 hours getting dh's car inspected and fixing a couple of things. Today I have been cutting fabric and sewing all day. I'm working on a quilt for a cousin's daughter.

Have a great Thanksgiving!!

I'm looking forward to being back to my regular routine on Monday.

Marty

[bcvprincesses]

Great job everyone on the loss. I am down 1 lb this week. I think I am actually feeling better. I don't know if it is the loss or the working out. I think if is both.

[jennz]

Great job everyone! I forgot to weigh this morning so I'll do it tomorrow but I don't know if I'll be down 3...that's a lot! WTG Mike! :banana:

Jana - congrats on crossing the 10 pound barrier!! :cheer2:

K&K'sMommy, bcvprincess, & mountaineer - great job on being a pound down! :banana:

WDWFan9 - that's probably it...now you've got a whole week to get rid of it! :teeth: Probably lots of sodium.

DD has a friend spending the night - I already told them 8-9 is off limits - I'll be watching BL! :Pinkbounc

[Blueeyes101817]

Well i just weighed myself...my grandmother decides to tell me now that the scale is off......but either way, a loss is still a loss!!
so i started this thing at 163 lbs and i just checked and im down to 151...so that is a 12 lb loss total! I cant believe it...but for this week, its 3 lbs down..i. guess not losing anything last week helped me this week :)

[Mykelogan]

Wow! Great job everyone! Where's the link to the thread for our last week??!! hehe Let's get this last one going and make it count!!! :) I am sooooo proud of everyone who is still here going strong!!! :)

Mike :goodvibes

[jennz]

okay okay! The link to our final week is here (http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?p=10671333#post10671333)

[dopey4disney]

Oh - Happy belated birthday Christie/dopey4disney! :bday: Why didn't you tell me?! It's the big one! I hope it was fun! :earsgirl:

Thanks Jennifer!! I didn't tell anyone, I didn't even remind DH!

[helenk]

Yikes, I just realized I did not post yesterday with my weight loss, well actually there was no weight loss, I stayed the same.
